Chapter One

It was a calm but breezy night in the city on Neo Domino, the moon was full and the stars were shining. In the dark a lone figure walked the streets preparing for his next mark. Yusei Fudo had been a thief for as long as he could remember, for him stealing wasn't just a job it was a way of life.

As he neared the museum, he found a fire escape that led to the rooftop. When he got to the top he decided to change into the clothes he used for stealing. Placing his blue jacket in the duffel bag he swapped it for a black jumper and changing his jeans for a pair of black combat pants, Yusei placed both his knee high boots and his gloves back on, now he was ready.

Jack Atlas had been guarding the Black Rose Dragon statue for nearly three hours and still the thief hadn't come. Was this a prank some kid had played or was the thief not coming?

The dragon had been placed in the highest security vault the museum had to offer, nothing could get into it, but Jack felt safer if he could guard the statue himself. Deciding that it was all a hoax, jack decided that he would get a cup of coffee, check on the statue one last time and then set off home and with that plan Jack set off for the cafeteria.

Yusei was now on the rooftop of the museum, the perfect vantage point to retrieve his prize. One of the five crystal dragon statues, he already had two of them and this next one would be his third.

What would he do when he had all five, would he sell them? No they were too precious to sell, no, he would keep them. Attaching a harness to his belt, Yusei scaled down the wall to the window he needed, the one nearest the vault. Diving into his bag he searched for the object he needed, finding it he pulled out a diamond glasscutter.

After getting inside and taking off the harness, Yusei walked down the corridor alert for any guards or traps that might be hidden. When he reached the vault, he went to the keypad, placing a small decode device on the keypad, Yusei retrieved the code for the vault.

Entering the vault, Yusei looked for the prize he sought, after finding it in the middle of the room he walked towards it. Taking out the glasscutter again Yusei cut a hole in the case. The Black Rose Dragon had just been liberated.

Jack was returning to check on the statue one last time before going home, it was then that he realised that the phone call hadn't been a prank, someone was stealing the statue.

Nearing the vault but staying in the shadows, so as not to be seen, Jack watched the thief cut a hole in the case and then disable the alarm in the case. Placing the statue in the bag, the thief made to leave.

Jack waited for the right moment and when he found it, he grabbed the thief around the waist.

Yusei didn't know anyone was around until he was grabbed around the waist, thinking quickly he turned around 'good thing its dark or I'd be in real trouble' thought Yusei. Jack was surprised as to why the thief turned round but his thoughts were interrupted when the thief kissed him.

The kiss didn't last long but it gave Yusei enough time to escape, when the kiss ended Jack stood watching as the thief jumped out the window.

Yusei had successfully put on the harness by the time he jumped out of the window and using the automated pulley, he was able to reach the roof, where his clothes were. Making sure everything was safely packed away, Yusei jumped to a nearby roof. Looking back at the museum he saw that the detective with blond hair was watching him. Smiling he made his way home.

Jack was furious, not only had the thief got the better of him and managed to escape, he had humiliated him also. The thief had used the kiss to escape, but he had used it to find something to help him track the thief. He pulled out the ID card that belonged to the thief.

Looking out the window he smiled, he would catch the thief no matter what…
